PEMBROKE — With the help of three double-digit scoring nights — including one milestone basket — the Bryan County girls basketball team romped its way to its first region victory Tuesday night when it hosted Savannah Christian.

Bryan County came out firing from the start as Diamond McGirt hit her first of four 3-point baskets eight seconds into the game.

The Redskins never relinquished the lead as the 64-41 win over the Raiders improved them to 10-3 on the season and 1-1 in Region 3A-A.

BCHS head coach Mario Mincey said he was pleased with his team’s effort, especially after falling to Claxton in its region opener on Friday night.

“I like where we are,” he said. “Right now we’re trying to hit our stride. We had a bump against Claxton, but considering that we’re missing six seniors from our region championship team last year, I’d say we’re in pretty good shape and we’re going to continue to get better.”

While it was McGirt whose 21 points led all scorers, it was senior Satashala Beasley, known among teammates as Taz, who was the most celebrated player Tuesday.

Her layup with just over minute remaining in the third quarter gave her 1,000 points for her career. She finished the game with 13 points, eight rebounds and four assists.

“She’s been starting since she was a freshman,” Mincey said. “She’s gone through some growing pains, but she finally made this milestone.”

While senior guard Tiffany Howard joined Beasley and McGrit in double digits with 17 points on the night, two Raiders did all they could to keep their team in the game.
